Along the border of France and Italy, The Grandes Jorasses dominates the landscape with its otherworldly-looking peaks — almost as if they're as high as the heavens. The fog creeps over the summit and the harsh winter weather makes for a dramatic scene that captures the essence of the prestigious Mont Blanc massif mountain range.

This image was taken from Aiguille du Midi, looking east toward the Grandes Jorasses peak.
From the town of Chamonix, take the Aiguille du Midi 2 cable car up to Aiguille du Midi. Please note that this trip will take about two hours, so plan accordingly.
Approach one of the many viewing areas once you've arrived at Aiguille du Midi and then stand facing east for a similar persecutive of the Grandes Jorasses.
